    Tires that were pre-used.
    Bob B.

    So glad Darwin's is here in our neighborhood. This place is Familia. I feel so welcomed here and it's a lot of fun get tires here. I appreciate your team work and it's amazing to watch you all working so well together. It's inspiring. I had these rims I wanted on here and I drove down and asked if you could swap tires from my current wheels to these newer light weight Carrera II. Awesome value and service and prices that other tire shops can't compare. This is Family owned. These values matter. Thank you!

    Some of us can't afford to just always "buy new" when life throws us curve balls, but Darwin helps us get back on the road and keep driving safely when our wallets are thin. They have always been super fast, polite, and honest over the past 7+ years whenever I've needed their help For example: One of my tires blew-out on my morning commute to work, causing me to lose control of my SUV which ended up sliding sideways down I-90 at 70mph in the mountains near Snoqualmie. No bueno This ripped the tires off both rims on the drivers side, and then proceeded to chew up the metal of both wheels so badly that they were utterly destroyed. This is my commuter with 212k miles on her- so spending a lot of money on tires & wheels would be silly. I was able to buy two matching rims from a junk yard, then went into Darwin. Wasn't sure if the old tires were damaged, but thought that if they were that Darwin would have some decent used ones. Long story short, the old tires (that got pulled off the old rims while I crashed) were amazingly just fine and the guys at Darwin were able to mount them on the new(er) rims lickedy-split! Only charged me $12 and had me back on the road in 15 min?!? Woo-hoo! That was almost 3 years (and over 25k miles) ago, and the tires & rims are still going strong! THANK YOU Darwin!!!

    My very nice scratched up rim

    See all

    They are cheap and does good work. They installed my TPMS sensors and Costco programmed the sensors while rotating the tires for me

    So I called Marty's the other day and mentioned that I had some 2025 Toyota Tacoma wheels and tires…read morethat I had recently removed. I decided to upgrade my tires on my truck and asked him if he was interested in purchasing from me. He said come on down and he would take a look. They're fairly new tires and only have about 1400 miles on them. When I got there, he totally recalled our conversation and was really personable and professional. After looking at my tires up and down, he offered me a price. I didn't really know what to expect as far as what they were worth. I have some relatives in town who have done business with him before so I trusted him to give me a good price. It's important to note that they are used tires and he has to sell them as used tires. So I definitely didn't get rich off them, but I don't have a big garage and frankly I was glad to get rid of them. While I was there, at least a few people pulled up for service, so it looks like they stay pretty busy . I would say my experience with Marty's tires was great. Plus, I feel good supporting a local business.

    I've been going to Martys for over 10 years and the service is usually good. A week and a half ago…read moreI brought my wifes vehicle in and asked them for a used tire because her tire had a slow leak. They found a nail in the old tire and offered to fix the old tire instead of giving me a good used one. I agreed. He charged me $40 drilled a hole put a plug in the hole and put the tire back on the vehicle. 10 days later my wife is driving at night and her tire goes from 40psi to 4psi in seconds. The tire was completely flat while she was on the arterial. When I called to tell them what happened they basically said it was her fault and they would now sell me a used tire for $120!!!

Before bringing my car in, I called and explained that I was confident the issue was the trunk latch. I asked about pricing and whether they had the latch in stock. I was told the first step would be to bring the car in so they could see if that was the problem. Once there, a mechanic tried slamming the trunk shut but it still wouldn't close. I was then told they needed to diagnose the issue for $140.00 to 170.00 At that point, I agreed because it sounded like they thought it might be something other than the trunk latch. Instead, I was charged $269 for a diagnostic, only to be told exactly what I already knew that the trunk latch was the problem. I don't understand why I was charged such a high diagnostic fee when I clearly explained the issue from the start. To make matters worse, I was quoted close to $800 to replace the trunk latch. For reference, the same latch for a 2016 Chevy Malibu LT 2.0 costs under $200 online. Between the excessive diagnostic fee and the inflated repair quote, I chose to walk away after paying the $269. They also claimed my battery was going bad, even though it was replaced just 7 months ago. Then today, I received a voicemail asking if I wanted to schedule work not just for the trunk latch and battery, but now spark plugs and struts issues that were never mentioned before. It honestly feels like they kept adding problems out of nowhere. I've had good experiences with them in the past, which makes this even more disappointing. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be bringing my car here again

    I've been coming to Les Webb Tires for a while and have had good service overall, which is why I…read morekeep returning. But lately, there's been a consistent issue that needs to be addressed. I've brought my car in multiple times for the same tire concern (possibly a sensor or tire issue), and each time I end up waiting hours sometimes close to four just to be told nothing is wrong. I've had rotations done and asked about replacing the tires, and I'm told everything looks fine, yet the issue keeps happening. I understand new customers need service too, but returning customers with recurring issues should be handled more efficiently. If I'm coming back for the same problem, there should be some level of priority or urgency instead of being treated like a first-time visit and waiting for hours again. That's my main concern timing and how repeat issues are handled. I still think they do solid work, but the process for returning customers needs improvement.

Not only were they friendly and extremely helpful…read morebut they also stayed past close to help me get back on the road (I was on a trip to visit my mom from Portland and had an hour drive left when I got a flat). The tire was unrepairable and they didn't have one in stock at this location so they drove to another location to get the tire I needed. They went above and beyond to help me in a true bind and were very kind along the way.

Did the online form to price…read morematch since the form says to let them know if a lower price is found, as "We won't be undersold!" Yesterday I got a call from Chris stating that she couldn't find the price that was matched, and when I explained to her that it was a promo code that's shown on the product page, she said she wouldn't honor the price match because it was only a small amount more than what she pays for the tire. What's the point in having a price match policy if you refuse to honor it? Seems like this store is just greedy so suggest you look elsewhere when spending almost $2,000 on tires. I highly recommend Discount Tires, since both Renton locations have agreed to honor the price that Big O wouldn't!

Once there, the attitude was condescending and the focus quickly shifted to upselling us a TPMS we didn't actually need. Next thing we know, they say they can't fix it at all -- leaving my girlfriend with 32 PSI in the tire and an "oh well" attitude. If you can't do the work, be upfront about it instead of wasting people's time and trying to sell unnecessary parts. We went to Discount Tire afterward, and they were helpful, professional, and fixed it for free without sending us to Tesla or pushing parts we didn't need. Big O Tires should take notes -- honesty and customer care go a lot further than upselling and empty promises.
